There are about 15072 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Turkey. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
This study aimed to determine CCL19/MIP3beta(β) and CCL20/MIP3alpha(α) in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of the patients with different periodontitis phenotypes. A total of 72 individuals, 24 with Stage III Grade B periodontitis (Group 1), 24 with Stage III Grade C periodontitis (Group 2), and 24 periodontally healthy (control group) (Group 3), were included in the study. GCF and clinical periodontal parameters were obtained at baseline. MIP3β and MIP3α levels in GCF were determined by ELISA.
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of neonatal care education for primiparous pregnant women on postpartum maternal function and quality of life.
Excessive and prolonged stress can have detrimental effects on both psychological and physiological health, compromising overall well-being and functioning. This study examines the impact of telepsychiatric group consultation using Instagram as an unexplored online social media platform on stress levels and problem-solving skills among young adults.
The aim was to analyze the problem in patients with Takayasu Arteritis based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health.The sample of our study will consist of individuals between the ages of 18-65 who have been diagnosed with Takayasu Arteritis by rheumatologists and are followed by Pamukkale University Rheumatology Clinic.
The Lower Quadrant Y-Balance Test (LQYBT) is a landmark test used in assessing lower extremity performance, determining risk factors for injury, and making return-to-sport decisions. Studies have shown that the individual's focus of attention affects balance. The literature, has shown that the use of external focus is more effective than the use of internal focus in the execution of a movement.Consistent with these findings, the use of an external focus instruction during the LQYBT may lead to achieve more realistic and a higher performance outcome than the test result with standard instructions. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the effects of using different instructions and focusing techniques on test performance on the LQYBT. The secondary aim was to investigate the reliability of the different instructions and focus tests we used for the LQYBT. Hypothesis of the study that test performance can be further enhanced by differentiating the instructions and focus techniques. A more effective assessment of individual performance may help us to make a more realistic decision to return to sport.
The aim was to examine the validity and reliability of the Social Frailty Index in Turkish among older adults. 65 years and above older adults will be included included in the study. Older adults who agree to participate in the study will first be administered the Hodkinson Mental Test. Those who score 6 points and above will be included in the study. To evaluate the validity of the "Social Frailty Index", Social Inclusion Scale, Older people's quality of life-brief (OPQOL-brief) and Lubben Social Network Scale will be applied to the participants. To determine the reliability of the "Social Frailty Index", older adults who do not receive any treatment will be tested and re-tested at one-week intervals.
Chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus patients are with in high-risk patients in coronary arterial diseases and increasing number of coronary angiography and coronary interventional procedures have been performed in these population. As well as the risk factors have been identified by many studies preventive measures are lacking. In our study we found that SGLT2 inhibitors are beneficial in terms of reducing contrast media induced acute kidney injury in both diabetic and CKD patients.This is one of the leading studies in the literature pointing that SGLT2 inhibitors may have a potentially beneficial role in reducing or preventing the development of PC-AKI.
Aim: Studies in which the results of the screening test evaluating swallowing skills in acute stroke patients are evaluated together with other components that may affect swallowing function are limited. The aim of this study is to determine which factors are associated with swallowing abilities in patients with acute stroke, including lesion location, cognitive level, clinical features, risk factors for stroke, and level of functionality. Methods: The 97 acute stroke patients included in the study were grouped in terms of lesion type, affected side, and risk factors for stroke. Turkish MMASA (TR-MMASA) was used to evaluate the swallowing ability of the patients. Additionally, Standardized Mini Mental Test (SMMT) and Modified Rankin Scale (MRS) were applied to evaluate cognition level and functionality, respectively.
The obesities were aimed at the effect of whole wheat (WWB), buckwheat (BWB), and cornbread (CB) on blood glucose by comparing the glycemic index values with reference bread (RB). Overall, WWB consumption had a positive effect on blood glucose in individuals with obesity, while BWB consumption caused an increase in blood glucose levels.
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of kinesio taping on blood gas parameters, respiratory rate, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and pressure limits in preterm infants with RDS who are on NIV. It is hypothesized that the application of kinesio taping to the chest area of preterm infants may improve respiratory functions and oxygenation at the alveolar level, leading to decreased work of breathing, reduced respiratory rate, and improved neonatal stability by promoting respiratory mechanics and enhancing chest expansion.
